Udinese 1-3 Chelsea: Raheem Sterling's attempt at scoring a back-heel

Raheem Sterling scored his first Chelsea goal in the team’s 3-1 victory over Udinese.

Thomas Tuchel’s side travelled to Italy for their latest pre-season friendly and picked up a much-needed win after a poor run of results.

Out in the United States of America, Chelsea were beaten on penalties by Charlotte FC and thrashed 4-0 by London rivals Arsenal.

But the Blues looked back somewhere close to their normal selves at the Stadio Friuli on Friday, with summer signings Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly starting from the off.

Sterling made it 2-0 on the night after N’Golo Kante opened the scoring, the Englishman benefitting from some luck following a poor attempt at a finish from close-range.

Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri initially denied the £50 million winger, but his save saw the ball bounce off the Chelsea man and into the back of the net.

Well, they all count…
